A member asked:

I have been told i have mephloquine poisoning from larium i took over 3 years ago. i get anxiety and unsteadiness daily. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat symptoms: Recent data suggested that rare inner ear & psychiatric problems occuring while taking mefloquine (to prevent malaria) can (rarely) persist, sometimes for years (benefits > risks usually).All is NOT lost though: "Vestibular rehab" can help cope with inner ear problems (not cure the problem, though, if due to a med). Meds may help anxiety, but cognitive behavioral therapy can help anxiety long-term
